Our weekly #CreditChat started in 2012 to help our community learn about credit and important personal finance topics (e.g. saving money, paying down debt, improving credit scores). Each chat is hosted by @Experian on X (formerly Twitter) and all are welcome to participate. DM us any questions.
Join us for a Halloween-inspired chat, “Don’t Get Spooked: Managing Your Money Without Fear.” We’ll help you uncover the boo-sics of budgeting, haunt those scary debts, and treat yourself to financial peace of mind. No tricks here, just tips to help you slay your money monsters!
